A fresh illustration Of how politics some-
times separates people bound to each by ties
of blood is given in a case now pending in a
New York court. In the fall of 1880 Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Hamburger had son born
to them. The mother named it Arthur
Chester, in honor of the Vice Presidential
candidate on the Republican ticket. The
childs grandfather was Democrat. Nam
ing their son Arthur Chester so incensed
the grandfather that he cut Off the Ham
burgers in his will, leaving the child, how
ever, $50. When the old gentleman died he
left 100000. Mrs Hamburger now tries
to break the will, SO that her son may in
herit part of the fortune.

II is stated that the officers of the Pana-
ma canal have been suffering for some time
With financial paralysis. Funds have not
been sent by M. DE Lesseps to keep the
work going. Indeed, work has been almost
entirely suspended. The director general,
the cashier, and the secretary have gone to
France in search of funds. Should they
fail to obtain assistance, it is believed that
as far as France is concerned the canal will
be dismal failure. A suggestion has been
made that the United States may take UP
the work and complete it, but it is not like
" that the suggestion will be acted upon.

TAHLEoUAH, /. T.. Dec. 3.-The dead
lock in the council is broken. When the
roll call took place it was found that
there was a quorum present. The Ma
journalists stole a march on the Downing
party and captured the organization of
the senate. Lacey Hawkins, a full blood
Cherokee, was elected president of the
senate, and the clerks and other officers
were also selected from the Nationalist
party. This was all that was accom-
'plished, and serves to revive the excite
ment. The Downing party is strong
enough to make another deadlock, but
now that Organization has taken place
the Senate has the power to arrest and
bring IN absent delegates, and IL this is
done 1t may precipitate trouble.
